Collective punishment violates the
Geneva Convention , but don’t the recent government financial actions in Greece, Ireland, (and TARP, etc. in the USA) constitute
collective punishment of the citizens in these countries?
The Bankers went for greed, and the citizens collectively are now punished by having to pay for that greed.
If there had been a war, the bankers would be up for trial. Convicted. Geneva Convention. Period. Full Stop.
And then they lobby…for more $.
Whose to blame them….?
Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving (except to the bankers involved) everyone!
